Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden of behavioral disclosure. It states the tool replaces file content, implying a destructive write operation, but doesn't mention critical aspects like permissions required, whether changes are reversible, error handling for missing files, or rate limits. This leaves significant gaps for safe agent usage.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence that directly states the tool's function without unnecessary words. It is front-loaded and wastes no space, making it easy to parse quickly.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given the tool has 3 parameters with no schema descriptions, no annotations, but an output schema exists, the description is incomplete. It covers the basic action but misses details on parameters, behavioral traits, and usage context. The output schema mitigates some gaps, but overall, it's only minimally adequate for a destructive operation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has 0% description coverage, so parameters are undocumented in structured fields. The description doesn't add any semantic details about 'script_id', 'file_name', or 'source' beyond what the schema names imply. Since schema coverage is low, the description fails to compensate, resulting in minimal added value.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action ('Replace the entire content') and resource ('a file in the script project'), making the purpose unambiguous. However, it doesn't explicitly differentiate from sibling tools like 'script_edit_function' or 'script_create_file', which might have overlapping use cases.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as 'script_create_file' for new files or 'script_edit_function' for partial edits. It lacks context about prerequisites, like whether the file must exist, or exclusions, such as not being suitable for non-text files.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
